Parity-ethereum: eth_sendTransaction and eth_sign both hang dramatically in RPC

Created on 31 Aug 2017 · 2Comments · Source: openethereum/parity-ethereum

_Before filing a new issue, please provide the following information._

I'm running:

Parity version: 1.8, 1.7.1 (these are all the versions I've reproduced it on)

Operating system: OS X and Docker For Mac (Both reproduced on)

And installed: Via Docker, Homebrew, and from source

_Your issue description goes here below. Try to include actual vs. expected behavior and steps to reproduce the issue._

* expected behavior*

To be able to send signed transactions with relative ease via Curl or via the node.js console (I tried with both) in a dev chain environment or PoA environment (also tried with both).

* actual behavior *

The transaction hangs. The request seems to get through but the response never seems to come. Many of the other RPC commands in web3 work just fine (I haven't tried all of them), but it's specifically these two (and I have a sneaking suspicion that eth_sign MAY be the source of it all).

The logs with the trace enabled:

Requests that require signatures need to be approved using the signer RPC before they will return. Have you disabled the signer? What flags are you running Parity with?
